We report studies of B → Xuℓν decays, based on a sample of 88 million Bbar {B} events recorded with the BABAR detector. From both tagged and untagged Bbar {B} events we have isolated inclusive charmless decays in kinematic regions for which the dominant background from B → Xcℓν is reduced by making requirements on different variables: the electron energy El, the momentum transfer q2, and the hadronic mass mX. Using theoretical calculations we extrapolate to the total decay rate to determine the CKM matrix element |Vub|. In addition, we have measured the branching fraction for exclusive semileptonic decays, such as B → π(ρ, ω, η, a0)ℓν. A high signal purity is achieved by selecting events in which a decay of the second B meson is either fully or partially reconstructed.
